ADAS Calibration and Safety System Recalibration

ADAS calibration resets the cameras, radar, and sensors that run lane keeping, automatic braking, and parking assist, so they read the road correctly after a repair. At Podium it is a required step of a proper repair, not an upsell.

What it is

What ADAS Calibration Is

ADAS stands for advanced driver-assistance systems, the cameras and radar that watch the road. When a repair moves or replaces those components, calibration re-aims them to specification.

How it works

The Process Step by Step

01

Scan

We scan the vehicle to identify the systems involved.

02

Set up

Targets and equipment are positioned to spec.

03

Calibrate

Static, dynamic, or both, per the manufacturer.

04

Verify

A final scan confirms the systems read correctly.

The method

Static and Dynamic Calibration

Static calibration uses targets in the shop; dynamic calibration is done by driving the vehicle under set conditions. Some vehicles need one, some both, and we follow the procedure your make and model requires.

Why Calibration Is Required After Repair

A system can be out of specification with no dashboard warning, so the procedure decides, not a warning light.

After glass

Replacing a windshield with a camera usually requires calibration.

After bumper or frame

Bumper, suspension, and frame work can move the sensors.

After collision

Any collision repair near a sensor is verified.

Questions

ADAS Calibration FAQ

What is ADAS calibration?+
ADAS calibration adjusts cameras, radar and sensors so driver-assist systems can read the road and surroundings correctly after repair.
When is calibration required?+
It may be required after windshield replacement, bumper work, suspension repairs, frame alignment or repairs near sensors and cameras.
Can I skip calibration if no warning light is on?+
No. Some systems can be out of specification without a dashboard warning, so repair procedures should determine whether calibration is needed.
How long does ADAS calibration take?+
Timing depends on whether the procedure is static, dynamic or both, and whether the vehicle needs additional repairs first.
Does insurance cover ADAS calibration?+
Many collision claims include required calibration when it is part of the proper repair procedure.
